I've never been interested in chess because it seemed to be way too much work to be good enough to have fun.

Things have gotten much easier now, you can get endless stream of free puzzles that are as fun as any puzzle game and adapt to your skill level... I'm still not that interested in actually playing but it's really the ultimate single player game for phones, always slightly challenging and takes as little or as much time as you want.

Which app is best for this single player variety of chess? Focusing on bite sized puzzles etc.

Chesstempo has the best content, at least at a middle or higher standard. Chess.com and lichess have more modern UI/UX but haven't perfected the automatic puzzle generation process that Chesstempo seems to have got right many years ago.
